Renowned rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs reportedly endured a harrowing incident in prison, as revealed by a close ally of his.

Charlucci Finney informed the Daily Mail on Wednesday that the troubled music icon allegedly awoke to find a knife pressed against his throat in his cell at the Metropolitan Detention Center.

Finney, a companion of Combs for over three decades, shared this alarming account, though he did not specify exactly when the event occurred. “I’m unsure if he fended off the attacker or if the guards intervened,” Finney stated. “What’s clear is that it indeed took place.”

He suggested that the chilling episode was likely intended as a warning rather than an actual assassination attempt.

“Had the assailant wanted to inflict harm, Sean would have been in serious danger,” Finney remarked. “It takes only a moment to use a weapon fatally.”

“It was probably a way to say: ‘Next time you ain’t gonna be so lucky,’” he added. “Everything is intimidation. But with Sean it won’t work. Sean is from Harlem.”

Finney called his 55-year-old pal “unbreakable,” praising the Grammy winner as a “lovable caregiver, a father, brother [and] best friend.”

He added, “I’m confident he’s gonna do whatever it takes to make sure he’s still Sean Combs when he comes out.”

Combs’ legal team did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

The Bad Boy Records creator has been in the Brooklyn prison since his September 2024 arrest for sex trafficking, racketeering and prostitution charges.

Combs was convicted in July of the following year of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

Last month, he was sentenced to four years and two months in federal prison.

Additionally, Combs was ordered to participate in programs for mental health and substance abuse issues, as well as pay a $500,000 fine to the court.

His lawyers had previously pushed for a near-immediate release on the grounds that Combs “served over a year in one of the most notorious jails in America” and “made the most of that punishment.”

In a September filing, Combs’ attorneys claimed the songwriter had been on “constant suicide watch” in jail — and approached by a fellow inmate with a makeshift shiv blade.

After the individual accused Combs of sitting in his chair, the “Coming Home” rapper talked the man down, his legal team claimed.

Combs submitted a letter to the judge at his October sentencing trial, arguing that he is sober and “no longer running from [his] mistakes.”

While 75 of Combs’ loved ones also submitted character letters in his defense, ex-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura pleaded for a sentence that takes into account the “horrific decade of [her] life stained by abuse, violence, forced sex and degradation.”

The former couple dated on and off from 2007 to 2018, with Ventura testifying about their time together at Combs’ May trial while pregnant with her and husband Alex Fine‘s third child.

In her letter, the 39-year-old wrote that she is “so scared” of experiencing retribution upon Combs’ release over her bombshell testimony.

“As much progress as I have made in recovering from his abuse, I remain very much afraid of what he is capable of and the malice he undoubtedly harbors towards me for having the bravery to tell the truth,” she wrote.
